[NEWS] A ROUNDUP OF THE FESTIVALS YOU NEED TO ATTEND THIS SUMMER

This summer promises to be a madness for festivals both in the UK and abroad. From London to Pula via Amsterdam, some of the biggest names in music will be shutting it down in grand fashion. Here is a selection of some of the festivals you should think about going to.

Wireless’s line-up is stacked. The three day festival, taking place London’s Finsbury Park, will see an illustrious roster of acts hit the famous stage. Chance The Rapper, Skepta, Rae Sremmurd, Nas, The Weeknd, Travi$ Scott, Young Thug, Lil Yachty, Wiley, Section Boyz, Dave and a host of others are going to make you have a weekend to remember.

Emanating from East London, this year’s Lovebox may be the best one yet. Friday’s line up is stacked with sets from Frank ocean, Solange, Jamie xx, Mac Miller, Ray BLK, Kaytranada and Mick Jenkins, among others. Saturday sees the likes of Kano, Raye, Chase & Status and DJ EZ hit the stage.

Holland’s hottest hip-hop party APPELSAP Fresh Music Festival have announce the next heavy set of names for August 12th 2017, with Young M.A, J Hus, Amy Becker, Lunice, 070 Shake and more joining big dons Lil Wayne, Dave, 67, Vic Crezée, Siobhan Belland more across the Appelsap day in Amsterdam. Four freshly curated stages from Boiler Room, Noisey and leading Dutch DIY Radio, Red Light Radiohave also been announced.

This year Outlook, Croatia’s finest festival, marks 10 years in the game with family old and new, bringing together the likes ofDizzee Rascal, Dawn Penn, Swing Ting, Giggs, The Bug, Calibre, Goldie, LEVELZ, AJ Tracey, Wiley and Madam X for this special edition, plus over 100 selectors, live acts, MCs and crews already announced to play in Outlook’s abandoned fortress home.

Viper is a magazine born out of frustration. We’ve entered an era in which Hip Hop press is at its least intelligent. Major titles have begun to resemble pamphlets, in which the main features are irrelevant.
Boasting rap dinosaurs on a conveyor belt of magazine covers, their significance is dwindling. Noticing that indie music and fashion magazines have begun to cover Hip Hop in a more thoughtful and interesting way, Viper seeks to boost underground Hip Hop and the culture surrounding it. Named after a slang term once used by William Burroughs, Viper is dedicated to rap fans and supporters of cult scenes worldwide.
